[English]

Darkness in my heart, the light I was dreaming for

The moment that suddenly comes (that moment)

The light filled up from the deep inside of my heart

It reminds me the past days

Don't forget your dreams

Until the dreams come true

The miracle's movement

is now started

The pouring starlights

Will shine on your eyes

Shine a light (I want) Shine a light (I want)

I've waited for this moment, Now finally made it

Shine a light (I want) Shine a light (I want)

It will shine on your bright light

Shining Shining Shining one

You’re the only only one

More than anything in the world

You're the shining STAR

Shining Shining Shining one

You’re the only only one

Forever and ever

You’re the only one

Did you know?

The planet that circles around you

The days that shine on you (everyday)

I can't stop this feeling

The world is filled with you

The heart keeps running On and On

The only light

When I am with you

It becomes a perfect dream

You can run, You can fly

Hold on tight Starlight

Shine a light (I want) Shine a light (I want)

I've waited for this moment, It finally comes

Shine a light (I want) Shine a light (I want)

Your shining light will be lighten up

Shining Shining Shining one

You’re the only only one

More than anything in the world

You're the shining STAR

Shining Shining Shining one

You’re the only only one

Forever and ever

It's taking me through, It's spreading out

The sweetness

Always, all the time

Even at the moment I'm breathing

Feelings are overwhelming

As you give them to me

Shine a light (I want) Shine a light (I want)

I've waited for this moment, Now finally made it

Shine a light (I want) Shine a light (I want)

Your shining light will be lighten up

Shining Shining Shining one

You’re the only only one

More than anything in the world

You're the shining STAR

Shining Shining Shining one

You’re the only only one

Forever and ever

You’re the only one
